Welcome to our 4th annual Big Data Conference at Linnaeus University hosted by the Linnaeus University Centre for Data Intensive Sciences and Applications (DISA) in Växjö, November 29-30, 2018. Detailed information on the conference can be found on the following web page.

For the session on research results of LNUC DISA, we invite submissions from DISA researchers to present their academically outstanding, previously published work at the Big Data Conference 2018. Submission deadline: Nov 12, 2018

Acceptance requirements:
(i) The underlying paper has been published in an excellent journal or conference proceedings not longer than two years before the conference.
(ii) The topic of the work is clearly related to data-intensive sciences and applications.
(iii) At least one of the co-authors is a DISA researcher.
(iv) At least one of the co-authors registers for the conference and attends the conference to give a presentation about the paper.

Note, that the paper will not be part of any proceedings or similar. As the planned session has only a restricted number of slots, we have to select according to a number of criteria, such as scientific quality, fitting into the DISA research aims, topical diversity (for example, not all talks on visualization or computational social sciences), etc. Therefore, we ask the submitters to carefully choose those papers and submit only one or maximal two papers of their work.

Information on these papers should be submitted via email to Diana Unander (diana.unander@lnu.se) containing: list of co-authors (DISA researcher(s) should be marked), title, abstract and venue/journal where the papers originally appeared together with a link where the paper can be downloaded. The deadline is November 12, 2018. We expect to notify about the acceptance at Nov 16, 2018.

The 4th Big Data Conference at Linnaeus University Växjö, November 29-30, 2018

Poster submission deadline: November 16, 2018

Welcome to our 4th annual Big Data Conference at Linnaeus University hosted by the Linnaeus University Centre for Data Intensive Sciences and Applications (DISA). Detailed information on the conference can be found on the following web page.

For the poster sessions during lunch at the first conference day, we invite poster submissions coming from DISA researchers and their PhD students. We ask for posters on research done/related within/to the DISA research groups (e.g., unpublished work, posters already presented at other conferences, etc.).

Note that the posters will not be part of any proceedings or similar, and that it is required that somebody will be at each poster during the poster session of the conference to take questions. It will also be possible to demo stuff nearby to the poster (should be mentioned in the poster submission).

All posters should be designed and finally printed in A0, upright (portrait format); no further layout requirements are provided from our side, but a name of a contact person + email address, or a QR code, or something similar should be provided on the poster to allow people to get in touch with the authors.

A PDF version of the poster plus a short abstract (separate PDF file; maximal half page) should be submitted via email to Diana Unander (diana.unander@lnu.se) by November 16, 2018. We expect to notify about the acceptance eventually together with comments for minor adjustments at November 20, 2018. Please remember that you also need some time after the notification to actually print the poster: The CopyCenter usually needs a couple of days for such tasks.

Welcome to Digitala veckan on November 15-16th in Växjö. Researchers at Linnaeus University with a focus on DISA has been invited to give a special session on Data analytics and what new value the data can give you. Detailed information on the conference can be found on the following web page:

For the special session Data Analytics and what new value the data can give you we invite submissions from DISA researchers (4 in total, 1-2 PhD-students) to present their research findings that can be of interest for an external audience, based on collaborations etc.

Acceptance requirements:
(i) The underlying paper has been published not longer than two years before the conference.
(ii) The topic of the work is clearly related to data-intensive sciences and applications.
(iii) At least one of the authors is a DISA researcher.

The 3rd Big Data Conference at Linnaeus University Växjö, December 1st, 2017

During late spring 2017, guest researcher Andreas Heberle spent some weeks to learn more about the needs and opportunities for joint research between Södra and tour DISA researchers. During these months Andreas has interviewed several domain experts at Södra and he found over 50 ideas and opportunities that could be the base for joint research.

Just before the summer holidays started, DISA researchers and experts from Södra gathered for a follow up workshop to discuss the potential next steps. The experts from Södra got the list with 50 ideas down to seven that were the most prioritized for them and in discussion with the researchers the list went down to three ideas/opportunities. Many of the other ideas will be taken care of internally at Södra. We have responsible people for each idea and looking forward to see some concrete action, either as full research projects or as student projects in one form or another.

We will by this show that there are many different ways to work together and it is by talking we can find out what works best for us within DISA and for you who wants to work closer with us. If you have ideas for joint research – don’t hesitate to contact us.
